1 Wife Submits To Her Husband's Spiritual Leadership

In marriage the wife vows to submit to the spiritual leadership of her husband. In doing so she vows to do this by God's standards and not her own. This means that those verses which depict the church's love, respect, submission and honoring of Christ will also depict a wife's love, respect, submission and honoring of her husband. This covenant is required and demanded by God. It is not made with the husband but rather with God. As such the husband does not have the authority to release his wife from this vow.
